Carpet Care - Cleaning Guide

Here are some basic carpet cleaning tips to help you keep your carpet looking good.

• Always blot stains; never rub or scrub, as this may damage the carpet! 
• Wipe up as much of the spill as possible, working from the outer edge toward the center to avoid spreading. 
• For most common household stains, always treat with warm (not hot) water. 
• For wool / wool blends, add 1 teaspoon of wool-approved laundry detergent and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to each liter of warm water used.  
• Before applying the solution to the stain, test a small, unnoticeable area of the carpet to ensure against damage and color change. 
• Gently press the carpet dry with a clean white cloth or paper towel in between stain treatments. 
• Once the stain is treated, apply a wet cloth to the carpet until it no longer feels sticky or soapy, then blot up with a clean white cloth or paper towel. 
• Place several layers of paper towel or cloth over the cleaned area and place a flat weight on them to absorb any remaining moisture. 
• If the stain remains, call a professional carpet cleaner immediately.
